CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Construction Management as Owner Representative

Real estate developers recognize that in order to effectively manage a project, there are two choices: manage the project themselves or hire a manager to represent their best interests.

Managing projects internally can prove to be cumbersome since resources are limited and easily detract from primary responsibilities. Even those with first-hand real estate experience find the fast paced decision-making associated with construction projects to be complex. Never mind the logistics of permit coordination, scheduling, procurement and quality control.

Our experienced staff has diverse technical and management skills. We develop, administer and control construction projects for lending institutions and private real estate investors by acting as the owner representative.

We facilitate contract bidding, negotiation and award; permitting, bonds and assignments; scheduling, progress and monitoring; contract administration; budget management and change control; and quality control on behalf of our clients.

Real Estate Owned (REO) Construction Management

Frequently DCMI is engaged when there is a default on a construction loan and the dwelling construction is only partially complete.

In this circumstance, our standard operating procedure is to secure the dwelling, cost the remaining improvements based on fair market value for the dwelling, negotiate bad debt, bid the project, award the contracts, obtain permits, manage the contractors, provide accounting services throughout the course of improvements including obtaining lien waivers from all subs and vendors and finally, achieve the applicable inspections for final use and occupancy.
